Check tyre manufacture date on side wall of the tyre (requires some close examination) and compare with Odo reading and vehicle registration date.

Divide the odo reading by number of months since vehicle is registered. Anything less than 200 Km per month average usage is suspect. Why has the vehicle remained idle so long? (Apart from odo reading, idle vehicles tend to deteriorate faster).

Mostly even a justifiable odo meter will not assure you the technical aspects of the vehicle. No matter how old and how much the vehicle is driven? A maintained and serviced at regular intervals always signifies a good engine and delivers a better performance anytime.

The vehicle is driven 30000 kms can give better performance than the one driven even 5000 kms, so buying used car and used bike by just looking at odo meter is not justifiable for all aspects of technicality of the vehicle.

Note: Odo reading is just giving a peace that the vehicle is not driven more hence the vehicle is technically proven a sound vehicle.

Women look for comfort and style in everything they own – whether it’s a pair of shoes or a sexy hand phone. So it’s no surprise that women have an exhaustive checklist when it comes to purchasing a scooter too. Buying a used scooter isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are quite a few things you need to consider when buying a used scooter. Take a look at 10 things you must look for in your scooter.1. Budget
Most of us start looking for options before even deciding our budget. That isn’t going to help. Narrow down your search by fixing on a budget first. Be willing to stretch a little, especially if it’s your dream ride you’re talking about. You can buy a good scooter within a budget of Rs.40,000.

2. Weight
While this might not be a pain point for men, women really need to take care of this. Ritu, who has been riding her two wheeler for the past seven years says, “It’s extremely important to check the weight of the scooter. You need to be sure that you can handle it.” Most women are more comfortable zipping around on a lightweight scooter.

3. Auto start button
Convenience is another priority when buying a two wheeler. “Kick-starting a scooter is not easy for every woman, and takes a lot of effort. An auto start button is a must,” Ritu adds.

4. Storage
Make sure your scooter has enough storage space for your helmet, a backpack and a small tool kit too.

5. Maintenance
“You’re already spending quite a sum on the scooter. You don’t want to land up blowing up every month’s salary on maintenance too. A quality checked scooter would always give you peace,” says Monika who has been riding her bike for the last five years.

6. Location of service center
You may not realise the importance of this one till you are stranded. “The location of your service center is vital, especially in emergencies. You don’t want to buy a scooter and then land up travelling long distances for repairs and services. A door step servicing would bring in lot more ease.Find someone who can give you at the the door step, Monika adds.

7. Height
“If you are on the shorter side, you don’t want your scooter to be too high. It would get very uncomfortable for you,” Monika explains. Pick one which is comfortable for you and makes riding an easy job. And of course, make sure your feet touch the ground.

8. Durability
How durable is the scooter? Ask yourself this question when you go looking for one. “Even if you have a good budget, it doesn’t make sense to make a hasty decision and settle for something that simply looks good. Weigh the pros and cons before you decide,” says Zeba.

9. Style & Color
“Is my scooter just how I wanted it to be? Durable but cute? Has just the right color? These are some things I asked myself before I bought my scooter,” Monika adds. Pick a scooter that suits your personality, do not leave the healthy vehicle just because you didn’t get your color,when buying used scooter.

When its a short distance, you can save energy and time by hopping on your scooter, instead of walking it up.

Parking is never a problem, as scooters take up very little space as compared to cars.

A good scooter should give you a mileage of 35 to 40 kms per litre. These days new makes are claiming 60 kms per litre, but somehow on road experience depends on riding style. Honda Activa is most selling scooter in India, it has overtaken bikes in recent times as per numbers.

10. Choose one who is concerned about you
“Where to buy from? Trouble free? Technically sound? Hassle free buying experience? Wanted a quality used scooter?These are some things I asked myself before I bought my scooter,” Monika adds.
